(Bella's POV)

Chapter 1 January

Hi my name is Bella Swan I'm 21 years old and today I am moving to forks Washington to be closer to my dad and his family. I want to make something better of myself but not only for me. I am single mom of a beautiful two year old little boy Oliver Charles Swan. I found out I was pregnant with him after a one night stand with a guy named James. James and I went to high school together but never really knew each other or even hung out at all for that matter. One night at a party for the seniors I had one to many drinks and was upset as I didn't want to finish high school as a virgin. I saw James from across the room smirking at me. Once we made eye contact, he came over and kissed me full on the mouth. We were both so drunk and one thing lead to other and the rest of history. James knows about Oliver of course. But James wants nothing to do with him. James willing gave me full custody and signed over all his rights to Oliver without being asked or pushed. He said he was too young to be a dad. I guess I was young enough to be a mom though.

Right after I graduated high school was when I found out I was pregnant. I freaked out. I was 18 and had just started my life as an adult, and now I was pregnant. I fell to the floor and cried my heart out. That's how my brother Emmet found me when he got home. He saw the positive test in my hands and gave me a small smile. Emmet helped me to my bedroom and later that evening helped me figure out how I was going to tell our parents I was pregnant by a man who I haven't talked to since the night we conceived said baby.

Me and Emmet lived in Phoenix Arizona with our mother at the time but was in the process of moving as our mother had decided to marry a man half her age named Phil. He was 28 years old and was a baseball player for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Phil was a nice guy but was closer to Emmets age then my mother who was 43. Me and Emmet both felt uncomfortable living with the two newlyweds so we decided to move back to Forks Washington with our dad Charlie till we went to Seattle for college.

I told my mother I was pregnant the night before we were to leave Arizona. She cried and yelled saying how I was ruining my life and hers. Still not sure as to how I was ruining her life, but that was my mother for you. Renee said she was glad that I was leaving because she didn't want some knocked up whore living in her house and if I was to stay here I would end up fucking her husband. Emmet came in the room yelling right back at mom which always made Phil come running in as well. I just sit there in shock with tears running down my face. Emmet was in moms face yelling and Phil was yelling at him for yelling at Renee. And she was yelling at me and Emmet. I stood up and grabbed Emmet and pulled him back with me. "ENOUGH" I yelled. Everyone went silent and glared at each other. I took a deep breath and told our mother that I was getting the rest of my things and spending my last night here with my best friend, Angela. I looked at Emmet and asked for him to drive me over there. As we left the house Renee went to her room and never came back out. She didn't call the next morning and apologize or ask to take me to the airport so we could say goodbye to each other. That was the last time I spoke to my mother. She kept in contact with Emmet when he would allow her too, but never asked about me or my son.

After that night I decided I would do everything in my power to give my baby a good and happy life. They would never know of the father that did not want them. Or the grandma who was a massive bitch. He or she would be happy and love more then they could handle. I may be 18 but I will give my child anything and everything. I will never regret getting pregnant right out of school, or being a single mom. All that mattered to me was my child.

We left Arizona the next day and Emmet and I flew to Forks Washington and the little bit of our things were shipped out to Forks. We didn't bring much but some photos along with keepsakes and other item of clothing that we had and wanted to bring with us. Our dad had everything we needed in our rooms at his house. When we got to Forks I bit the bullet and told my dad I was pregnant. I started crying when I told him about how mom reacted and how I had to leave her house on my last night there. He hugged and told me everything was going to be okay and he would take care of everything we needed.

When I was about two months pregnant me and Emmet moved to Seattle to start college. I was planning on just doing online but my dad and Emmet pushed me to have the full college experience. Well as much as one could being 18 and pregnant. The months flew by. Between classes and doctors appointments. It was hard to do anything with a huge growing belly and I mean huge. I was all Belly and my small 5 foot frame could barely hold all this weight. It was a very easy pregnancy. I didn't get sick very often, I never had the crazy mood swings or cravings. I Also had a lot of energy till about 38 weeks and with all the extra weight and having to walk back and forth to classes everyday, my body gave out and I ended up fainting in the courtyard while I was walking to my car after my last class before maternity leave. Someone ended up calling 911 and a teach stayed with me till my family got there. Luckily Emmet was just a building away and got there fast enough to go with me to the hospital. Charlie made it to the hospital in record time and stayed right by my side. With the fainting and the fall I put myself into early labor and after 28 hours of labor and 3 hours of pushing my sweet Ollie entered the world at a whopping 10 pounds and 11 ounces. I was shocked to say the least. How my tiny 109 pound body could have carried that baby is Beyond me. I was able to go back to school when Ollie was 3 months and did part online and the rest on campus. With help from the school daycare and my family and my best friend/Roommate Alice I was able to graduate when Oliver was a littler over a year old. I was able to get my degree in Baking and a business license. I love to bake and it is my dream to open up my own cafe to sell all my deserts.

Me and Ollie stayed in Seattle for another year as I was doing a internship with a local bakery. Once I was done with that we packed up and moved back home to Forks. I was going to stay with my dad for a minute while we waited for Alice to move down here and move into our house in Port Angeles, it was only 30 minutes from my dad and 20 minutes from the city. I am waiting till I have enough money open my own business. Right now I make and sale my pastries online till I can get a shop. We had found a cute town house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I was excited for Ollie to have his own room for the first time and could not wait to get started on decorating his room.

After a two hour drive I pulled up to my childhood home and saw my dads police cruiser out front he was the chief of police here in forks

"WOAH. papas police car." Oliver said excitedly as he looked out the window "that's his car buddy and guess what" his brown eyes met mine in the mirror and smiled "he said he can take you for a ride in his car sometime with the sirens on and everything!" I told him. Oliver loved his Papa well more like lived for his Papa "SUPER COOL MAMA." I laughed at his yelling and pulled in the drive way behind Sue's car. I ran over to the other side of the car and opened Ollie's door. My dad was right behind me with a huge smile as he pulled Oliver out his car seat and hugged him tightly. Sue, Charlie's wife, came up and hugged me, keeping her arm around my waist.

"Bella how nice it is to see you again. You look wonderful honey." I smiled and hugged her back. Dad and Sue got married when I was 16 and we were fast friends. Sue has two children of her own from her first marriage. Leah and Seth. Seth who is still in school. Is 16 and he's a really good kid. He loves Ollie so much. Oliver always says that his Uncle "Eth" is his best friend. And Leah is 22 and was married to a man named Jacob, I have never met him but from what Leah and Seth tell me, he seems nice. Leah has a daughter that I have yet to meet but I have seen so many pictures from Sue and Leah.

"thank you Sue it's nice to see you too. You look as lovely as well" She looked over at Oliver and my dad who were chatting up a storm. She sighed happily at Ollie. "he has gotten so big." I smiled and looked over at my beautiful baby boy "I know he will be three next month. Crazy how fast time flys." Dad took Ollie to the living room where Seth was sitting on the floor by a Bins and bins of trucks and Dino's. Seth was all showing Oliver all the toy they had for him. After we had lunch the movers got here with our furniture. We left the truck in the front and I grabbed the few items at the back of the truck that I put there for me and Ollie to have tonight I also grabbed our bags from the truck of my car. Once I got inside it was already nine and Oliver was pretty much dead on his feet. I guess having my dad to play with and Seth who loves to wrestle with Oliver wore him out. I gave him a quick bath and got him ready for bed. My dad had pushed the bed up against the wall so Ollie wouldn't fall out of bed. Once his head hit the pillow he was out and I was not to far behind him. But I felt gross and desperately needed a shower. I careful got off the bed and got my bath stuff along with a big t-shirt to sleep in and headed to the bathroom across the hall

My phone started ringing right as I closed the bathroom door. I sighed and looked down at the smiling face of Alice she was my roommate from Seattle and honestly my best friend. I was tempted to just let it go to voicemail as I am exhausted and want nothing more then to cuddle my baby and go to sleep, but I knew she would keep calling back till I answered.

I sighed and tapped the green button. "hello" I said as hopped up on the bath counter and rested my head on the mirror"hi ya Bells did you get in all right? how is Ollie bear, was he good during the drive? I bet he was so excited to see Charlie again." I laughed as the pixie threw questions at me, one right after the other. "Alice, breath yes we got in fine. Oliver is sleeping in my old room right now, the boys wore him out" I said with a laugh. We talked for awhile and Alice let me know that she found out there was a small storefront for sale not to far from where we lived. I want to own cafe, so I don't just sell cookies and all kinds of treats online but right now money was tight so that will have to wait. "Well I should get off. I have been packing all day and I have one last meeting with my professor before I go. Have a good night and kiss my Ollie bear for me" I smiled. "I will Alice, good night" I ended the call and turned my phone off for the night. I finished my night time routine and passed out with my arms around my son.
